Sustainability Science Program

The Sustainability Science Program is the hub of Harvard's research, teaching, and interventions on the challenges of sustainable development.

Harvard's Sustainability Science Program harnesses the University's strengths to promote the design of institutions, policies, and practices that support sustainable development. The Program addresses the challenge of sustainable development by:

advancing scientific understanding of human-environment systems;

improving linkages between research and policy communities; and

building capacity for linking knowledge with action to promote sustainability.

The Program supports major initiatives in policy-relevant research, faculty research, training of students and fellows, teaching, and outreach.
